“The Teacher’s Guide to Student Mental Health is a practitioner-friendly resource that serves as a comprehensive road map for understanding school mental health and the implementation of evidence-based practices across classroom settings. A leading expert in his field, Dikel (child and adolescent psychiatrist) embeds years of clinical and field experiences into three distinct sections ('Why School Mental Health?' 'The Scope of Mental Health Disorders Affecting Children and Adolescents,' and 'A School’s Mental Health Framework') and strategically guides readers through the complexities of such timely topics.The wealth of knowledge captured in each section exemplifies the significance of school-based mental health service and support. This guide should be a permanent reference in the public and personal libraries of practitioners and parents who seek an extensive review of evidence-based techniques to effectively address factors associated with school mental health.”

I’m hoping that this book will find a wide audience of teachers, as well as school social workers, school psychologists, counselors, school nurses, principals, superintendents, school board members and directors of special education.
